I have seen constant companies attempt to make nearly paperthin screens. After all, who wouldn't want to roll up their phone or television like a poster? Yes, I like the prospect of having a skinny screen, and LG has done it. At a press event in Korea, LG showed off a 55-inch OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display that weighs 1.9 kilograms and less than a millimeter … [Read more...] about LG makes a TV less than 1mm thick

RIBBN Car Charger from TYLT
Ah, another day, another TYLT product! Yes, I have reviewed a lot of TYLT products before in the past, and the last one was the VU Wireless Charging Car Mount. Today, we are looking at the RIBBN Car Charger. I'm assuming that it is pronounced ribbon, because this is what it looks like. The best thing about the RIBBN is that it is guaranteed to be free from tangles. … [Read more...] about RIBBN Car Charger from TYLT
Samsung planning an Iron Man Galaxy S6
Well, should I be surprised at this headline? I'm thinking no. Still, it is good to see that Samsung Mobile's marketing chief Lee Young-hee confirmed that the Samsung S6 and the S6 Edge are going to be out with an Iron Man edition. So far, all we see is packaging here. I don't see what the phone looks like, but I wouldn't put it past it to have some hot-rod red on that … [Read more...] about Samsung planning an Iron Man Galaxy S6
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Left Behind (2014), you know, the Nicolas Cage one
Okay, I'm surprised that it took me so long to review this movie considering I reviewed the Kirk Cameron Left Behind one a while ago. I don't know why it took me so long to get around to doing this, but I will tell you that this film is bad, so bad. And since I love doing good reviews of bad movies, I should have jumped on this one. Since I did this on my last review, I … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Left Behind (2014), you know, the Nicolas Cage one
Fox is making a Minority Report series, and I am not pleased
Okay, I seem to recall that with my review of Minority Report, I declared it one of my favorite movies. Ever since I have declared that, I can't seem to believe that I said that. Yeah, there are a lot of flicks out there, but this one works on a lot of levels. Yet this isn't a review on Minority Report, the 2002 Tom Cruise movie, this is a a review of the Minority Report TV … [Read more...] about Fox is making a Minority Report series, and I am not pleased
The WeMo Insight Switch from Belkin
I had a chance to review a Belkin product a while ago with the WeMo LED Lighting Set, and I have just had a chance to review the WeMo Insight Switch. As you can see, it is a literal plug-in that you just plug in to an outlet. From there, you can just plug in an appliance and monitor it from anywhere with the help of a customized application. You can turn devices on or … [Read more...] about The WeMo Insight Switch from Belkin
My Review of the V.360, a 360 Degree Camera
I'm going to be honest with you and say that I have been wanting to review the V.360 from VSN Mobil for a long time. In fact, I may have received it before CES 2015, and I was hoping to take it with me there. My plan was to film events with it, and then do a lot of videos that you could watch by dragging around a 2D video so you can view an event from all angles. This … [Read more...] about My Review of the V.360, a 360 Degree Camera
Mobee Technology, Part 2: Magic Feet, Magic Case 2800, and the Power Bar
Well, this is our second round for reviewing Mobee technology, and I am pleased to review two other items that have their "Magic" label on them. The last one doesn't have a "Magic" but it still does something good. I will start with the Magic Feet, and it is designed to charge both the Apple Magic Mouse and the Wireless Keyboard (or Apple Magic Trackpad) simultaneously. … [Read more...] about Mobee Technology, Part 2: Magic Feet, Magic Case 2800, and the Power Bar
Nintendo working on a Theme Park with Universal Studios
In case you don't know, Nintendo is very picky about how much it lends out its intellectual property. Yes, the eighties had the Nintendo cereal system, but you might notice that there was not a Legend of Zelda movie after Super Mario Brothers was released. I have to admire Nintendo for that, but the company has inked an deal with Universal studios to have a theme park … [Read more...] about Nintendo working on a Theme Park with Universal Studios
Mobee Technology, Part 1: Magic Hub, Magic Charger, and Smart Cable
I've got to love Mobee Technology products, and I had a chance to try out several of them, which leads to a two-part posting. I'll star with the Magic Hub, which is essentially an additional USB charging port for the iMac. As you can see, you can stick it on the back of iMac by unplugging the original power cord from the iMac, then insert the Magic Hub into the hole on … [Read more...] about Mobee Technology, Part 1: Magic Hub, Magic Charger, and Smart Cable
Void Changes VR Games, and Samsung Gear VR
If you haven't heard of Void before, then I guarantee that you will want to hear more about it. The Void is a virtual reality experience like no other, and I'm not certain who can top it. Designed by Ken Bretschneider, it is essentially a virtual gaming center with 60 x 60 foot rooms, allowing people to play while fully immersed in another world. On the surface, these … [Read more...] about Void Changes VR Games, and Samsung Gear VR
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Avengers, The Age of Ultron
Okay, so I have another Marvel movie to review, and this time, I'm not going to give this one a negative review. It isn't as bad as The Amazing Spider-man 2, but not as good as Guardians of the Galaxy. The problem with these Marvel movies is there is a lot at stake. Now that they are in the Cinematic Universe, almost every character in the Avengers has a movie of their … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Avengers, The Age of Ultron
Nikola Labs has iPhone case that charges from the air
Remember yesterday when I discussed the really cool waterproof battery case from Mophie? Well, that might be a thing of the past thanks to this Nikola Labs product. According to the Nikola Labs website, "Nikola Technology efficiently converts RF signals like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LTE into DC power using its proprietary energy harvesting circuit. The result is usable … [Read more...] about Nikola Labs has iPhone case that charges from the air
Disney Infinity 3.0 has “Star Wars” characters
I have written about Disney Infinity before, and did a hands-on review when I had it for the Nintendo Wii. If you aren't familiar with it, Disney Infinity is one of those games like Skylanders and Lego Dimensions where you have a figurine that you can put in the game, in a digital form. Last year, they introduced Disney Infinity 2.0, which involved the addition of a lot … [Read more...] about Disney Infinity 3.0 has “Star Wars” characters
Mophie has a waterproof iPhone battery case with the H2PRO
I've had some chances to review Mophie products before in the past, and the ones that I am most grateful for are the ones that were sent to me before I was even writing for this blog. The last thing that I reviewed for the company was the Outride, and that was back in 2012. Mophie is a company that is most famous for their juice pack, which was a mobile battery. I believe … [Read more...] about Mophie has a waterproof iPhone battery case with the H2PRO
